They would be dumb not to, really. I think hd-dvd player figures come in around 1 million in the u.s.a. Take the rest of the world into account and that is a lot of business they would otherwise lose.

IMHO I think a lot of these companies were paid to say the things they said. I mean the timing was very suspicious with a lot of the statements and is all rather trivial considering that high def accounts for like 1% of the consumers. moot point.

3 months ago netflix said hd-dvd rentals account for a 2:1 ratio with blu-ray. Kind of suspicious that 3 months later it is suddenly wearing their pockets thin.

really, its all bollocks. The whole "war" is a propaganda sham to get people remotely interested in the technology. Doesn't seem like people are biting and all this back and forth with hd-dvd vs blu-ray is usually biased.

They seem to both be decent formats. But hd-dvd is cheaper and has zero to do with sony (which i consider one of the greedier corps.) plus the specs are finished and the menu's aren't near as annoying. But really all that counts is the PICTURE.

We will not be releasing any new content after May 31st, 2008 on HD DVD.
Either Mr. Sass is mistaken or someone misunderstood what he said.
From June 1st, 2008 Warner will only be releasing Blu-ray and DVD discs for the foreseeable future.

HEhe, I gues HD DVD fans try to hang to any hope they can find ;)

The exact wording of the interview let you just know that they will not simply destroy the stocks of unsold HD DVDs they will have after May 31st. If there is demand from a retailer for a title they still have in stock, then they'll be more than happy to send it to them.
But from official sources, Starting from March, they will stop pressing any HD DVD catalogue and only fullfil their obligations up to May 31st.

Good luck finding anything in stores aside from unsold stocks after that ;)

“There may be isolated instances that an HD DVD title will be created, but as a general rule our titles will be out in SD and BD only after May 31,” said Ronnee Sass, vice president of publicity and promotion, in an interview with DVDTown web-site.

How can you misread this. Basically is there is demand for HD DVD title it will be created. This doesn't sound like selling already released HD DVD to me.
